Mississippi State at Texas A&M

It was a wild ride for Mississippi State last year rising all the way to #1 in the polls, but in the end they did not make the Final Four. It was all about QB Dak Prescott, as he went on to set 12 Mississippi State single season records. The defense stood up vs. LSU, and Auburn, and will be tested in this one vs. Texas A&M. The Aggies have started 4-0, but telling was the 21 points they were limited to vs. Arkansas after averaging 46 points per game in their first three. The SEC takes no prisoners, and the points don't flow as freely. We saw something similar last year with the Aggies piling up the points early vs. out-of-conference teams, but were limited to 20.2 points per game in their last five vs. SEC opponents. They have started this year with 21 points in regulation after a 46 average in their first three. Mississippi State can stand toe-to-toe with this team, and getting a TD squarely puts the value on the dog here, who has an experienced and dynamic QB that could make the difference with his arm, legs or both.Take the points on Mississippi State.
